ried out in San Francisco. It was the 

 DinkelspielrSchwabacher wedding in the 

 Temple En^anu-El. Quantities of flow- 

 ers were used, principally chrysanthe- 

 mums. 



Horace Cheeseman has been calling on 

 the trade in the interests of Ralph M. 

 Ward & Co. 



Mrs. R. E. Darbee reports the largest 

 shipping season in the history of her 

 business. She is sending out quantities 

 of chrysanthemums, and is starting to 

 ship violets from her place at Colma. 

 Besides, retail business is active, there 

 being a rush of wedding and funeral 

 work. 



In connection with the Liberty loan 

 campaign, MacRorie & McLaren had a 

 unique window display, showing the 

 Liberty bell in flowers. Daniel Mac- 

 Rorie has gone to Los Angeles on a short 

 business trip. Donald McLaren is tour- 

 ing the central part of the state by auto- 

 mobile, and Walter HofinghofE has just 

 returned to his desk after a 12-day trip 

 in Nevada and Utah. At the land show 

 on upper Market street MacRorie & 

 McLaren put in a representation of 

 Balboa terrace in conjunction with a 

 real estate firm's exhibit, and is also 

 showing motion p-ictures of growing 

 cyclamen plants. 



The regular meeting of the Pacific 

 Coast Horticultural Society was well at- 

 tended, most of the routine business 

 being suspended on account of the 

 smoker which followed. Prof. E. O. 

 Essig, of the University of California, 

 gave an interesting stereopticon lecture 

 on "Insects." The only exhibit was a 

 splendid showing of hybrids of Cattleya 

 labiata by J. A. Carbone, of Berkeley, 

 which was awarded ninety-seven points. 

 The blooms were later shown in the 

 window of MacRorie & McLaren's 

 store, where they attracted much atten- 

 tion. J. Dieterich, of Los Angeles, was 

 a guest at the meeting. 



Fred Bertrand, manager for B. M. 

 Joseph, says his principal diflficulty is in 

 getting experienced help. 



To handle the rush in shipping chrys- 

 anthemums, the E. W. McLellan Co. put 

 on six extra men October 17. 



The Kooj-man Co., Inc., has just re- 

 ceived a large shipment of baskets from 

 the east. G. Madvig, treasurer of the 

 company, says the demand for chrysan-
